While checking out some blogs that I haven't looked at in a while I found this photo on my niece McKinsey's. Even though I was all alone at the time...I busted out in laughter. I don't know why but this just doesn't seem like my Caleb. I guess EFY does some things to your child and you don't realize. Everytime I look at it I laugh. The caption said "Caleb being Mighty". I can't wait to hear the story behind this one.

It's hard to believe that summer is over and we are back to school. Check out how cute my kiddos are on the first day of school.

BRIT

When we asked him who was going to go to school with Mom he raises his hand. So cute. Brit is only 18 months but comes to school with me 2 days a week. He is doing pretty good...both days he has ended up sleeping in my classroom. I'm not complaining!

LIBERTYLiberty is in 2nd Grade and even though she was disappointed that she didn't get the teacher she wanted, she loves her teacher. She will do great! Check out the cutest skirt and flower I made her the night before school started. I think it turned out so cute!

ZACHZach is in 4th grade. He LOVES his teacher and can't stop talking about him. Seriously, he is the topic of many conversations around here. It should be a great year!

CALEB

My big 9th grader. This photo is a bit dark but he is such a cute kid. I love how he handles new unchartered territory. He has some good classes. It will be a great year.

On July 11, 2010 Craig was called to be the Bishop of our ward. We had known for 2 weeks about the call and during that time we were both amazed at the comfort we felt. I struggled with doubt of how we would handle everything, but the day before the announcement had a wonderful comforting experience. Truly an answer to prayers. We feel very blessed to be able to serve our great ward in this capacity. We love the members of our ward so much. It was said the day of his call that we were in for a "new adventure", which is so true. But we feel blessed and happy to take on the adventure.

He was so embarassed to have me take this picture, but come on we have to document these things! This was a week after he was called.

After church every week the kids go in and see Craig before we go home. It gives them a chance to say goodbye and talk to him a little bit.

The Lucky Parents

Just a couple of average parents with 4 of the most amazing children ever! We are still trying to figure out everything about parenting but hey it's been a great ride so far and it is only getting better!
